Art Cloth update

You may remember I shared about the Art Cloth earlier this month. This was how the cloth was when I had washed it.

I recently attended the last day of the course. When I got there everyone who had used the turquoise was talking about how the colour had washed out. Very strange!

I used a quarter of a Michelle Ward stencil from her Gothic Collection to draw an outline to have made into a Thermofax screen. I used the masked off stencil and the screen across the cloth. I made myself a quarter circle mask so that I could work through it.

I used a crackle pattern thermofax screen through the quadrant mask with black fabric paint and then sponged through the mask with silver grey fabric paint. I also used one of Ineke's lace thermofax screens.

When all the black and grey was dry I went back with some pearlised white with a touch of teal mixed in.

The finished painted and patterned cloth.

I'm going to put this on top of two layers of fabric and then machine it. I was planning to machine straight lines between the circles. However the photograph shows lines for squares so now I'm not sure which lines to machine.
